He glided his hands down one leg until he reached her foot.Off went her flip-flop.She kicked off the other, not wanting to waste a second on something so simple.

My thanks.He chuckled as he stroked up her other leg to hook his fingers in the waistband of her jeans.With a jerk, the button popped off.Another yank had the zipper sliding down.

Control yourself.Soon.He ran his fingers along the waistband while dusting kisses across her belly.Every inch he exposed when he removed her pants was blessed with a kiss.Every inch but the part of her that wept for him.

I am stronger than this.He paused, buried his face between her legs, and inhaled.Then continued until she could step out of her jeans and underwear.Naked before him, she waited, half expecting him to stand.He lunged, taking her from vertical to sprawled on the floor in the blink of an eye.

She barely had time to gasp.He abandoned her to rip off his boots and pants, giving her a glimpse of his gorgeous body before he lay on top of her.She pouted at the lost opportunity.What was visible while he kept himself off her in a permanent push-up did little to assuage her disappointment.Her view was filled with broad shoulders into bulging pecs and biceps, his ripped abs next—the stuff of fantasies.

“What is it, ensa?”he asked, his gaze snagging hers.Is she anxious?

“Nothing like that.You get to look, but I don’t?”

He laughed.“We have time…later.”He lowered himself until he pressed her into the blankets.

She sighed, appeased for now.With her arms around him, as best she could, she peered into his lovely eyes flickering between navy and neon blue.She could drown in the mini light show happening in his irises.

“Your eyes,” she whispered.“Is that normal?”

He hesitated mid-descend, his lips a breath from hers.“What color are they?”

“They swirl between dark and bright blue.”She cupped his face.“They’re beautiful.”

His smile was slow, on a sensuous crawl across his sinful mouth.“As are you, thamani.”He kissed her then with languid sweeps of his tongue.I could kiss her for an eternity.

She melted, her limbs weak and warm even as a knot constricted in her core.It throbbed, ached, demanded.She writhed, desperate to have all of him touching her while hoping to find some relief for the craving building within her.

He broke the kiss and caught her gaze.With a deep inhale, his eyelashes fluttered shut.Maker.“Your scent is intoxicating.”He growled when she hooked her legs around his hips, forcing him closer.

At that victory, especially when his erection pressed into her and pinged sweet need through her, a smile formed.She loved how she could rattle him and how open his reactions were.

“We have now, later, tonight.”She winced at her eloquence.“Fuck me again and again.”

Alodon’s balls.He trembled, his breathing ragged, but he, at least, caught her beneath her knee and lifted her leg.That she barely registered when his hard cock rubbed along her folds.

She whimpered when he paused.Panic gripped her, that he might stop, and she tightened her arms.“Please.”She licked her lips.“Cy...”

Instead of plunging in, he kissed her again, enchanting her with his tongue.She succumbed, letting him lead her.There was no other choice.She couldn’t force him to hurry.

When he broke away, he held his cheek to hers.“I like that: Cy.”

“Oh,” she managed, her heartbeat in her ears, her voice raspy.

All thoughts of teasing him with his new nickname shot out of her mind when he inched into her, stretching her to accommodate his girth.Every nerve tingled in pleasure, and the sensations he invoked were indescribable.She bit her lip and savored this moment.What she wanted was to be fucked and hard.But this… This was good.

When he was fully seated, his breath caught.Oh, Maker.He jerked back to meet her gaze, his eyes warming as he stared at her.My Wren.

Tears burned at the back of her eyes, and her heart swelled.

“I am keeping you,” he whispered, but she wasn’t sure she heard him correctly.

She opened her mouth to ask, needing to know they were more than lovers.But he withdrew and thrust into her, clouding her mind.Her core zinged, and that desperate craving rose and crashed over her.All she could do was enjoy the sensations, the emotions, culminating in an overwhelming state of awareness.

Something circled her soul, like ribbons of bright energy.A wealth of warmth came with it, spreading from her chest to lower.His eyes widened, he stilled, and gave her a sweet kiss.A cheek caress preceded another deep thrust.She couldn’t focus on both, and him finally fucking her was more demanding.The tension built, her core tightened, and to hell with breathing.She clung to him, let him take her to the pinnacle.

With a cry, she tumbled off the edge, arching into him when an orgasm slammed into her.No emotions other than her own bombarded her, and for that precious moment, she was just Wren, a woman in love.

Thamani.
